Over at Bloomberg Law, I have a short essay entitled Prime Time for Privacy. From the essay:
The GDPR is a tremendous step forward for the privacy profession, but the maturity of the profession is what makes GDPR compliance possible.
The privacy profession serves a profound societal role. This is the profession that will help shape the future of privacy and guide the development of technology in ethical ways. With the rapid growth of technology, the privacy profession is more essential than ever. This is the profession that thinks about the human consequences of technology and how to bring the dizzying uses of data under control. Privacy professionals are on the front lines of shaping the data-drenched world we’re racing to construct. This profession will affect our lives and our society in profound ways in the years to come.
